Touchy.js - light-weight touch event library (github.com)

Very cool, but I'd like a simple library which gives the basics of tap, touch and hold, touch and move, or something that easily recreates the general click functions.

That's fantastic. I love the way you implemented multitouch with an object. Very simple.

I like some of those abstractions, like the finger vs. hand and one/two/... fingers.

Apple doesn't seem interested in playing ball with the W3C to standardize touch events:

Presumably for that reason, the touch model Microsoft has for Windows 8 looks very different than the Webkit model:

So anyone wanting to use touch events cross-platform will need some sort of shim layer for them. Maybe Touchy could help there?

Nice work on this. I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure. I've got some apps that can use it.

Awesome. I've been needing a simple way to distinguish between a tap and a swipe/drag - i.e. activate a thing if the user taps a <div>, but not if they touch a <div> but swipe away - and using the finger.end data should work quite nicely.

For anyone who cares, I rewrote most of the library an hour ago to eliminate some inconsistencies during multi-touch events. Usage has not changed at all.

Isn't this just a fork of https://github.com/HotStudio/touchy/blob/master/jquery.touch...?
